South County Restoration

Your First Call to Restoring Peace of Mind

by Victoria Kertz

When disaster strikes your home, the last thing you need is more uncertainty. For years, South County Restoration has worked to ensure their clients have a smooth, stress-free clean-up from water and fire damage, but their latest move adds another level of service that homeowners will love.

The idea struck owners Casey and Annmarie McCants when they relocated to a 9,000-square-foot facility in the Rancho San Clemente area. The new warehouse provided so much extra space that they offered an often overlooked restoration need: storage.

After a major plumbing disaster, some families have to move to temporary housing while their homes are being repaired, and some of those restoration procedures are so large that every piece of furniture has to be moved out of the house. Those mobile or portable storage units won’t hold everything that needs to go, and the closest storage facility may be in Corona or even further away.

With 9,000 square feet, South County can provide clients with private, safe, temperature-controlled storage in its expansive new facility. They knew homeowners dreaded the hassle, cost, and time of finding places large enough for big furniture; now they can keep everything together with the same company performing the repairs and restoration. South County was already considered a one-stop shop, but now it truly is! And in a notable act of community service, owners Casey and Annmarie say that they’re storing items for victims of the Altadena and Pacific Palisades fires until their homes are rebuilt—a process expected to take approximately three years.

The new facility is also home to the team behind the scenes of South County Restoration’s expanding operations, led by Erika and Kelli. These two superstars handle the calls and claim process with your insurance company so you don’t have to. “They help facilitate everything around the claim process,” Annmarie McCants says, “They work so well with insurance companies. Between the two of them, they have extensive experience ensuring customers get as much money as they deserve after a flood or plumbing leak.” Erika and Kelli are a big reason South County was named a 2024 Neighborhood Fave from the Nextdoor app and have a 5-star rating on Google Reviews — they know what they’re doing and love helping customers in every possible way.

South County’s service offerings have evolved to include every step of the plumbing repair protocols, from leak detection to re-piping and repairs. Water and mold damage restoration has always been in their wheelhouse, so adding new services that the same clients would need for the same emergencies just made sense. They’re also expert fire restoration technicians and offer the same services for commercial buildings as they do for your home. Other restoration companies may say they’re full-service, but only South County provides full-service offerings from day one through resolution, plus private storage that they manage in-house. South County has no franchises; your family will work with the same crew from start to finish.

Friends of so many San Clemente charities and non-profits, South County recently announced they are a proud sponsor of the first annual San Clemente Home Tour, starting October 24, 2025. Much like the Corona del Mar and Newport home tours, this event will showcase several stunning properties in San Clemente, celebrate local architecture and design, and support San Clemente public schools.

Tickets for the inaugural San Clemente Home Tour will go on sale soon. See SCHomeTour.org for more details, pricing, and sponsorship opportunities.
